EDGE Group has announced that it is in the final stages of securing an agreement with the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Angola to implement a comprehensive national border security program.
The project will be delivered by BEACON RED, an EDGE entity specializing in strategic advisory, training, and counter-threat solutions. The Letter of Intent (LOI) was signed by Omar Al Zaabi, President of EDGE Commercial.
The program aims to strengthen Angola’s long-term border management capabilities by deploying advanced command and control (C2) systems and providing mission-specific training. These initiatives are designed to enhance situational awareness, improve operational readiness, and enable swift response at key border locations.
Furthermore, the project will stand as one of the most significant UAE-led security programs internationally, demonstrating EDGE’s proven ability to deliver solutions that address complex national security priorities.

“This important program underscores EDGE’s core strategy of delivering advanced, UAE-developed defense and security solutions to international partners. Angola stands out as a forward-thinking nation with a clear vision for modernizing its national security architecture, which makes it an ideal partner in shaping the future of border control. As one of the most significant UAE-led initiatives of its kind, it highlights the strength of our defense industrial base and our role in supporting governments in building long-term, future-ready national security capabilities.”
EDGE’s border security architecture seamlessly integrates AI-powered analytics, surveillance UAVs, secure communications, and big data management with traditional defense systems and layered physical security.
Each solution is tailored to the specific operational demands, terrain complexities, and threat environments of the customer, delivering modular, interoperable systems that ensure enhanced situational awareness and rapid responsiveness across diverse geographies.
According to the statement, this agreement follows the $1.1 billion (EUR 1 billion) deal under which Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), part of EDGE Group, has been contracted to build BR71 MKII corvettes for the Angolan Navy.
